Rebellion [or] I Am Better Than They Know

No one to cry to. Stomach twisting painfully, Can't sit still for long. Agony of soul Alternates with stark numbness I have no control. Whatever it is That dictates my emotion Also rules my life. But no more of this. I will force myself to feel. Sure pain is better. Clean, sharp iron blade. The pain I control, my own. Blood runs in lines. I smile, defiant. My secret rebellion. None will ever know. No one to cry to, They all think I'm fine. I am Better than they know.
